Here is new brain teaser written by puzzle master Wes Carroll.
The Really, Really, Really Big Number
Difficulty: HARDER
Type: MATH (Numerical/Abstract)
Intimidation Factor: HIGH — but don’t be scared!
Question:
When you divide 12 by 5, the remainder is 2; it’s what’s left over after you have removed all the 5s from the 12. When you raise 4 to the fifth power (that is, 45), you multiply four by itself five times: 4×4×4×4×4, which equals 1,024.
What is the remainder when you divide 100100 by 11?

A Losing Battle
Washington Post
- “…University, education professor and sports psychologist Leonard Zaichkowsky is helping to conduct a study of how elite athletes’ brain chemistry responds to winning and losing. Zaichkowsky will partner with Canadian sports psychologist Hap Davis, an adviser to…
- Davis, with the help of cognitive neuroscientist Mario Liotti at Simon Fraser University, studied the brains of 14 swimmers who failed to make the 2004 Canadian Olympic team. As the swimmers watched clips of themselves failing, the parahippocampus, the area implicated in cases of severe depression, lit up. In other words, the brain of an elite athlete who has lost “really resembles the head of a depressed person,” Zaichkowsky says. Also, the premotor cortex, the region that plans motor actions, appeared inhibited. This suggested that athletes who have lost might have a tendency to perform poorly again — potentially leading to what we would call a “slump.”
